Just a little?
I wish every person in the United States could spend 10 years in a totalitarian fascist regime and then get back to me about Trump.
Those 300,000+ U.S, soldiers who died in WWII will have died for nothing if and when Trump gets elected. The fact that it was the Americans THEMSELVES who self-enslaved is so mindnumbingly stupid that–if history is ever able to be written after a Trump Presidency–professional historians will shake their heads in wonder
Yes. it was horrendous and Bernie was there rearing up on his black charger, cutlass in brandishing hand. Think of all the people killed!!! Think of all the people injured!!! Maybe a paper-cut? I’m with you–it was almost like the bombing of Dresden or Black Friday at Wal-Mart!
If trump does win I think we need to start our own revolution that is going to take place in the state of vt. We need to revolutionize a beat down on Bernie for all the things we are about to lose because he is full of himself
I would join you, but, as a Mexican with roots in Acapulco (many hundreds of miles from Vermont) I will be in Mexico (after a stint in a Trump Relocation Camp). The people of the Entitled Set like to talk “revolution” (not having been in very many venues where whiteness and maleness have not protected them) but practically none of them are aware that not all revolutions are engaged in by the Left.
Trump’s white/right/chauvinist/mostly/old/male revolution has a 43% chance of taking the White House, according to oddsmakers.
Gandhi is reputed to have said that Western women have the key to our freedom. I am not Gandhi…but if American white women go along with Trump we are DONE…and I will be in that Acapulco camp in 2017.
You flatter Darcy unnecessarily.
You were described quite accurately.
You’re a troll, and not a very interesting one.
Now Bernie is demanding a say in who Hillary chooses for her cabinet, according to Jonathan Martin, who was interviewed on CNN.
Bernie suffers from an over-inflated ego—sure to burst soon and cause a huge mess.
Dude, Bernie said it best himself:
“But if you want everything to be quiet and orderly and allow, you know, just things to proceed without vigorous debate, that is not what democracy is about.”
Thoughtful opinions can rarely be put on bumper stickers.
Are you suggesting that black and latino voters aren’t working class? Somehow they’re different from white workers that are being screwed over by the 1%? I’m really curious how increasing protections and advocating for these workers is race dependent?
No one wants a budget surplus after 8 years in office, helped along by higher tax on very wealthy people, that’s for sure.
My first thought, too.
Saw somewhere this morning that he’s issued a “clarification.” You know, the old “out of context” thing. Looks very much like him actually trying to keep the idea alive.
Well, this seals the deal for this California voter. I will be placing my vote for Hillary today.
What’s wrong with Bernie’s messy approach is that it plays directly into the hands of an autocrat like Trump. Democracy is messy, but that doesn’t mean that the public image of the party that wants to demonstrate its compassion should present a chaotic picture to the voters just before a major election. Trump’s campaign theme of “Trust me, I know how to get things done even I won’t give you any details” will be contrasted with the Democrats’ theme of “Trust us, we may not be able to get much done, but we’ll tell you exactly what we would’ve if we could’ve”. How to Lose 101.
Bernie is using the word “messy” the way my grandmother used to talk about how I made PBJ sandwiches when I was 7. The headline and implication is that he means “messy” like the results of a car accident or divorce…Perhaps there will also be “tumult” and “sturm und drang” or even “commotion”.
21st century politics on a 19th century vocabulary. Lol. Wave of the future, eh, bros?
Forgive me, but how could it get messy? I mean, Hillary will go in with enough delegates that the super-delegates will easily push her over the top on the first ballot, correct? It’s not like she needs to convince Sanders’ delegates to switch to her to win…
Short of his supporters starting a riot, how exactly does Bernie plan to contest the convention?
What goes on OUTSIDE the convention is just as important in some ways as what goes on inside. Chicago 1968 being the classic example in modern times.
Bernie has to realize he is playing with fire. Many bring up the spectre of a 1968 police riot, which cost the Democrats the election.
Also around that time, Abbie Hoffman (or was it Jerry Rubin?) released his aptly named Revolution for the Hell of It. That appears apt for the Bros.
Rest assured, American white women will turn Trump onto his ass and walk over him.
It IS a relief, as a Clinton supporter, to feel like I can actually go there lately and not have it be exclusively a giant shitstorm of HillHate. And yes, Markos HAS tried to reign it in a bit, it had gotten so vile a lot of people just couldn’t even go there for a long time. But for years he had a place for every repugnant thing people could think of to demonize her and anyone who had a good thing to say about her, no matter how farfetched, had a great big happy home.
His “Breathe” advice may be too little too late to woo the majority of his audience by November to thwart Trump. But I give him credit for at least being willing to take his lumps over what he helped foster. And he’s definitely taking them.
